One of the great features of Twitter is that you can access and post it in various ways: from the website, from a dedicated client on Mac or PC, from a cell phone via SMS or mobile app, etc. Maybe someday we’ll see digital cameras with built-in Twitter access. With all of these different access [...]
With Twitter continuing to be so unreliable, I think third party applications such as Twhirl, TweetDeck, Twitterrific and possibly FriendFeed(?), just to name a few, need to add the option to keep a local copy of messages and your Following and Followers list.

Here’s me at work, the day after watching Dr. Horrible.
I started using Twinkle, an iPhone app, on Thursday night (July 17th) and wrote this post about it. Here are my impressions and what I’ve learned about it after using it for few days.

Unlike Twitterrific and Twittelator which can add a link to [...]

It is a breathtaking - and death-defying feat - which redefines the term extreme sport.
Battling both gravity and the elements, the climber claws her way up a granite boulder by just her fingertips.

Like my previous post on this topic, here’s another batch of apps that caught my eye, but this time only focusing on free apps. (Note - links below are iTunes links, not web browser links)
Flashlight (a free version), FlatLux and MyLite - all free

Probably not, especially if you’re not a tech-head or willing to bounce around to difference screens to enable and/or disable difference services (e.g. 3G, GPS, WiFi, etc) to manage the battery life on a regular basis.
Who is the iPhone for?
Answer the following questions:
Do you use social services like Twitter, FriendFeed, Brightkite, etc.?
Do you like to [...]
Take the poll and pass the word.
